We wanted to check in and see how you're enjoying Malwarebytes Browser Guard. Since you started using it, Malwarebytes Browser Guard has been working hard to protect you from unwanted and unsafe content like clickbait ads and tech support scams. Not to mention, those faster web page load times (4x faster).

The short answer is definitely "yes," but...

Page load times seem noticeably slower, not faster. This doesn't bother me much since BG is processing the page before rendering it, and I'm fine with that (just surprised you said pages would load faster in your email). I guess, maybe the pages would load faster vs. having no protection at all, but it's definitely slower than it was with AdBlock installed. No big deal, though.

AdBlock has this cool feature where you can just disable it and white-list a site with a single click, then click the same element again to refresh the page. BG seems to take several clicks to do the same thing, and it's much less intuitive.

I wish the "Get Full Protection" button was smart enough to go away if I already had Malwarebytes Premium. I do have it, by the way. Or, if it can't do that intelligently, I wish there was a setting to remove it.

You invited me with your question, "Enjoying Malwarebytes Browser Guard" to respond, and also get support with, "If you have any questions, or you need a little help, visit Malwarebytes Support." But I can't ask questions or leave feedback without logging in. And my regular Malwarebytes account login didn't work, so I had to make a new account for support. This is just sloppy. If you want my feedback, give me an easy process to leave it. If you don't, then don't ask for it.

But, again, I'm generally happy with it. If y'all fixed or improved the few issues above, I think it'd be absolutely terrific. As it is, I still like it a lot. Thanks very much for making it available.

Unfortunately, The forum software is run by a separate company. (Invision) and can not be connected to the product portal.

Thank you for the feedback. I will make certain to pass it on to the Product team for their consideration.

What Porthos said above regarding the forums is accurate; the forums software is a completely separate system/database so it cannot be tied to your My.Malwarebytes.com account (and it's actually more secure to keep such things separate anyway, in case any individual system is ever breached in any way it won't compromise your other accounts/services so my preference is always for companies to keep such things totally separate even when they are all owned and operated by a single entity just for better security though I may be in the minority on that; I've just seen too many massive data breaches, especially in recent years, to trust multiple accounts/services to a single logon; the same reason I don't use password managers or ever login to third party services using the likes of Google or Facebook and instead opt to create a unique logon with a unique password for every one, but again, that may be just me).

@Xebeche In the long run, Having a forum account gives you access to support for all Malwarebytes products. (except licensing issues)
